Two Filipino-Americans in Texas, United States have performed a prank so well that the establishment they have kidded has not noticed their stunt for days.
Jevh Maravilla and Christian Toledo made themselves models for a poster in a McDonald’s restaurant in Houston and netizens are lovin’ it.
The two have uploaded a full documentation of how they pulled the prank. Maravilla even dressed up as a store crew and schemed with his friends to install the poster.
“I look up and I see a blank wall and I tell Christian. Hey what if we put a picture of us on there? Look around, there are literally no Asians in any of these walls. Maybe we can change that,” said Maravilla in the video.
In a Twitter post, the two visited the fast-food chain to see if the poster had been taken down but were surprised to see the poster still on the wall 51 days after they put it there.

Maravilla admitted in his YouTube channel that the lack of Asian representation encouraged him to do the prank.
“If you haven’t noticed, there isn’t a lot Asians represented in the media and hopefully one day, I can see someone like me on the big screen,” he said. Maravilla added that “All races deserve recognition.”
